Discussion-7. "realm of perfection" ....
When Upanishad-Seers, by complete elimination of their ego, achieved through the divine method of submission, reached the palace of Truth, they entered therein to rediscover themselves to be the owers of it.
That "realm of perfection" is indeed the world which having reached, no one returned.
However, there are some among them, rare birds who had flown back in their divinely selfless service, to lead, guide and encourage other manifestations of themselves, unto the same Truth.
They try to express the topography of the realms beyond and the main paths by which one may reach it.
And such moments of godly inspiration and intoxicating bliss, the Rishi-s forgot to subscribe
their names to their own masterpieces, the Upanishad=s.
Thus, we have an incomparable literature on philosophy in the volumes of the Upanishd-s, the authors of which are unknown to us.
We only know that there was behind these sparkling words of wisdom a personality who revelled in the subjective experience of the very theme which he described in such a wealth of details.
